Great site for environmental topics for kids. Interactive activities and a career exploration tab for information on varied environmental jobs.

Site visitors can research extensive lists of diseases and disabilities and be linked to symptoms, descriptions, statistics, etc., about the selected disease. The "Web Quest" has 8 steps for visitors to follow to expand the search on the selected disease with self assessments and links.

Matches second grade curriculum in LPS - targets are pretty particular, but you do have a chance to revisit choices. Might consider having kids work in pairs.

Food Pyramid - Lincoln Public teachers - this fits with second grade health objectives.

Another fun game to play to learn the states and where they are located. I would use this site in Social Studies to study the states and where they are located.

This site is a great place to learn the states and their location in the U.S. I will use this with the 5th graders I tutor and pass it on to their teachers as well.

I was first attracted to this site because of the interactive game regarding healthy food choices. But there is so much more here such as a menu planner, a food pyramid tracker, podcasts for making healthy changes in diet, coloring sheets, worksheets, and other printed materials. I think any health teacher would love this site.

This is a great site for upper elementary through high school. There are numerous learning experiences from exploring a town which has been cleaned up, to learning to help the city budget enough to follow through with their plans of cleaning up the environment. There are activity areas as well as teacher information sections. I will be sharing this with the middle school science teachers I know.

This site is a trivia game which will also use research skills. If questions aren't answered correctly an address is given to connect with a page from the Smithsonian Institute. The answer can be found somewhere on that page. I think 5th graders would love the challenges presented and glean numerous interesting facts from the information presented.

This is a site with a terrific game about the travels of Lewis and Clark. When moving through each state, one must play a game to continue traveling. Not only is it fun, but there is a wealth of information given along the way. I will share this with the 4th grade teachers in my school.

This site is a large collection of primary documents related to the Cold War.  There are presidential letters, decrees, memorandums, and meeting notes.  There are also documents pertaining to Hiroshima. This site would be great for a high school history or government class to use when studying the Cold War. 

This site contains actual documents from the trials in Salem Village in 1692.  I searched for this site because I once taught The Crucible and think that students would enjoy seeing the court documents that they read about in the story.

This is an amazing site that is current.  It is called the National Security Archive.  It has recent documents from the Iraq War, the Torture Archive and September 11th.  This site would be excellent for many classrooms.  A current events teacher might use it, as well as history, language arts, or government.  

This site is a large collection of documents relating to the Presidency. There are documents such as election debates, party platforms, Inaugural Addresses, and press conferences.  This would be a great site for a history teacher or for a language arts teacher who might be teaching how speeches are constructed or given.  

This is the world's largest collection of Native American writings.  It houses all types or writings that document Indian Life from the "Indian perspective."  It has a collection of literary writings from Native America writers. This site could be very useful in either a history or language arts class.  

This site I found interesting because it contains of wealth of first-hand information such as speeches, testimonies, cases, and briefs on all sorts of topics. Some of the topics I found were H1N1 and the 9/11 backlash.

This website is good for the Language Arts teacher or classroom. It has many links to primary sources regarding Shakespeare and other English topics. If a teacher were to delve deeply into the meaning or topics of Shakespeare's works, this would be a good place for students to get information.

I chose this site because it has first-hand accounts of many famous historical events that might be pertinent in a history classroom. What could be more interesting for a student to read than an account of an event from someone who experienced it.

This gov doc focuses on the experiences of two families as they settled on the Nebraska prairie between 1886 and 1912. Through primary source letters and photographs it documents the joys and challenges of homesteading in Nebraska.

This site was helpful to me as someone who has not been teaching for 10 years and is trying to understand all the terminology and technology involved in searching for information.

This gov doc outlines the Charters of Freedom, the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. It describes the process leading up the the document and the impacts of the documents once they became law.
